The power of having a vision and gratefulness

Since I was a child I had an inner feeling that I want to do more and to be more than what I saw around me. At the age of 13 (I graduated from the high school when I was 16) I started to write in a journal which I keep doing till the present time. It was mostly self-reflection about how to achieve what I wanted, what bothered me, and how to overcome it, etc.

Big shift happens around 10 years ago when I watched a film "The Secret" for the first time. It inspired me on two things: to create a Map of my desires and to start to write a Gratitude Book. On the map I put pictures which I associated with the lifestyle I wanted in different levels of my life. And it worked! There were big goals as well as small once. When I achieved some of them I updated the Map with new pictures. But then I was influenced by the people I communicated with who told me that the whole idea of the Secret and the Map are bullshit, it's not working and in order to achieve something we have to move our ass and to take actions. It made sense to me so I removed the Map from the wall, wrote my goals on paper and started take actions every day. Of course, it worked so I never did a Map again. And now, 10 years after, I realized that there is nothing wrong with the Map! It really works but not in a way most people understand it. It is about having a Vision. A vision behind our goals. The vision of where we are going. Why it is important? Because as long as we keep focus and ask ourselves right questions as why and how our brain will come up with the answers. It always is!!!

Believe in yourself! Have an inspiring vision. Do your best to keep yourself in a right state and take actions every day!
